Calling the nurse escalates unnecessarily. Responding positively validates feelings, using therapeutic reminiscence to reduce agitation, a PSW skill per dementia care training. This builds trust and comfort, making 'Respond by saying 'that must have been a good year for you'' the correct and empathetic approach.
